Chapter 300: It's Not That Simple
"Hey, what's going on, according to the map, there should be an island nearby. β
"Maybe it's a mistake, don't go any further, just look around. β
This is the fifth day after Mo Yuan and his party have gone ashore, using one island and reef after another as fulcrums, turning back and forth, but they have also traveled most of the distance, and they have indeed entered the deep sea range.
Compared with the land to toss a lot, Zhen Zhen is very accurate to control the flight speed of the seven spirit birds, everyone in their hearts to estimate the time to arrive at the next marked islands and reefs, even if occasionally deviated, it will not be too outrageous, estimating that it may have been missed, but also to turn back to look for a large area, knowing that the marked islands and reefs will be found, so that they can go down to rest, recalibrate the direction, and set off again.
Fortunately, there are only three such experiences in total, otherwise people would have to go crazy.
This is different from when Mo Yuan and the others left Flying Fish Island to find the main continent of Dahuazhou, from winter to summer, the direction of the current of the ice sea is roughly fixed, even if the error is thousands of miles, it doesn't matter, anyway, they will eventually land in Dahuazhou, they don't pursue having to land somewhere.
You can set off from the land and return to the Flying Fish Island, which is far away from the sea and borders, you can't do this, the difference is a millimeter, a thousand miles, with their level, through the celestial phenomena, they can only roughly distinguish the southeast, northwest, and northwest, and at most divide the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest out evenly, if you just bury your head and rush straight to the destination, you can really reach the Flying Fish Island.
This time, once again, I missed the marked islands and reefs, and after discussing for a while, five spirit birds hovered in the air and did not move, and the other two separated to the left and right sides, and before they really came out of sight, they all stopped, and a special whistle came back.
Mo Yuan said with a solemn expression: "I didn't find it." β
Continue to send two horses of spirit birds to the left and right, when they arrived at the location of their companions in the distance, the companions dared to continue to search farther away, this time the spirit birds sent out are mainly for them to use as a reference guide, otherwise, if they really fly out of sight, the direction is slightly deviated when returning, then it is over, a riding spirit bird is lost in the depths of the ocean, what can it do, when it is always exhausted, wait for it to fall into the sea of ice, and then slowly experience the terrifying digestion ability of alienated cyanobacteria.
The four horseed spirit birds searched both sides, and from the high altitude, as long as the target island and reef were within two or three hundred miles, they were not worried about missing it.
The information that could be transmitted back through the bone whistle made Mo Yuan's heart sink.
Nothing was found.
He looked at the three spirit birds beside him, and then continued to send one of them out to search farther away.
Thinking like this, he shook his head in his heart.
That would be too dangerous, and if there was a problem at one point, it would be difficult for everyone to come together completely.
"Let them all come back. β
He blew the bone whistle to summon everyone back.
Seeing that two black dots appeared on the far side of the left and right respectively approaching this side, he felt a little more steady. Whisper to your companion.
"There was a very huge thunderstorm on the road just now, could it be that we lost our direction unconsciously at that time?"
The climate change in the ice sea is relatively mild, but compared to other oceans, it is summer, and violent thunderstorms are still coming.
Before the dark clouds converged and the wind blew violently, they hurried up to a higher sky, passed through the thick dark clouds, passed through the troposphere, and finally rose to a height of dozens of kilometers above the ground, trampling all the dark clouds and lightning, vicious waves and winds under their feet, except for the strong ultraviolet rays, the sudden and drastic change of bad weather did not have the slightest effect on them. Even the speed of flight has not been weakened by this.
Now analyzed, although the dark clouds at that time did not cause direct damage to them, they had unconsciously deviated from the established flight direction in the process of ascent.
When all his companions returned safely, everyone looked at him.
Although he did not speak, the meaning was obvious.
"So what do we do now?"
Mo Yuan carefully looked at the navigation map in his hand, put it away, and said in a deep voice: "Let's continue to fly forward!"
"Keep flying?"
The friends are all stunned.
The direction they are flying in is a bit far from the direction they are going to Flying Fish Island, and the purpose of coming here is to find the target island marked on the map, so as to calibrate the direction and then approach Flying Fish Island.
They didn't find the island at all, they didn't know if it was on the left or right where they were now, or if they had been left behind them, and if they continued to fly forward, they would really fly farther and farther, and the deviation from Flying Fish Island would become bigger and bigger.
Mo Yuan nodded and explained:
"I just took a closer look at the map, from the island we set off from before to the direction of the target island that we haven't found now, about a thousand miles ahead, there is a chain archipelago just in front of us, with the island we set off from before as the apex, the maximum angle between the two ends of the chain archipelago is nearly ten degrees, this is already a large area, I believe that even if we fly in the direction of the previous flight but it will not be too much of a deception, as long as we continue to fly forward, it will not go beyond the range covered by this archipelago, as long as we find them, we can naturally calibrate the directionγ Relatively speaking, this is the most appropriate approach. Otherwise, if we continue to search within this range, or fly back, the more we go back and forth, the more confused our sense of direction and distance will become, and the situation will only be worse than it is now. β
Listening to his explanation, everyone also felt that it made sense.
The companion who had just piloted the spirit bird to fly to the sides reminded in time: "Before setting off again, I think we should let them slow down first. β
The spirit birds under them are not in a very good state at the moment, weak and weak.
Mo Yuan swayed a few balls of water with a strong healing effect and seeped into their bodies, and their state did recover, but it was like a hormone, and it didn't last long, and it would soon fall down.
It's purely hungry.
Originally, according to the plan, they had now settled on the new island to rest, and they could rest and eat, but now they could only hold on.
Mo Yuan nodded and said, "Then let's go down and rest for a while." β
Seven spirit birds carried everyone to the clouds, and gradually approached the sea.
When their figures were still seven or eight meters away from the sea, there was an area directly below them that was more than ten meters long and wide, with a total of two or three hundred square meters, and the light blue water quickly turned white.
